It looks like John Calipari has some competition from a Big Baller.

While LaVar Ball coaches two of his kids in Lithuania, his Big Baller Brand is trying to create a professional basketball league for players who do not wish to go to college before entering the NBA Draft. Ball told Darren Rovell players could make up to $8,000 a month in the ten-team Junior Baller Association.

In order to have a league, you have to have players. That might be a problem.

A basketball recruiting account that edits pictures for prospects, @TiptonEdits, is releasing screenshots of DMs from the Big Baller Brand to elite high school recruits.
